★★★★★ 5.0 Stuart S. · Feb 2026

What a little hidden gem, You can't beat the service from the most personable server you've met. And the food is all made from scratch in house, by the family that owns it. Very few tables, a very complete but small bar, a little kitchen, all overlooking the water. We had the she-crab soup, crab cake sandwich and key lime pie for dessert all of which were fantastic! Definitely a great stop!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jacki Grainger · Feb 2026

Amazing! Had delicious crab and unbelievable crab cakes. My husband had the fish on the wall (shown with a lure in a metal fish display) Service was prompt and kind. Best meal I had had in a long time. I want to go back tomorrow. Decor is cute and I just loved it!

Fish tacos and shrimp were amazing. ❤️ I've lived there for 11 years and did not know this place existed. Glad it was a kept secret that I found on my own. 😂 I will eat here every time I visit Norolk!! 😋

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mike · Mar 2026

We had a fish sandwich and shrimp and grits. I think people have mentioned the place is very small, like 8 tables and an outside area that is not heated. However, they have plastic curtains so difficult to see the water. Inside no view of the water, so not very good atmosphere. Do not like writing a negative review but stopped here based on good reviews. Fish was OK but only 4 of us were there and I suspect I was served old and cold fries. Shrimp was well prepared but the grits were 1/2 done and had no flavor. Thankfully the little bit of sausage and peppers gave the dish some flavor. Maybe because of off season but not sure what they would do if they were busy. I also though prices were high such as $20 for fish sandwich. A bit irritated the menu for the specials of the day and others on

Five stars all day long. Family owned and operate it. We had the crabcake sandwich and fish tacos and they were both fantastic. Definitely recommend everything here is freshly made daily. Nothing is frozen.
